DCM - In A Word

It's Rhi who has set this weeks dare, fresh back from her honeymoon.

This week I dare you to use a Word as the main focal point to your card. It can be a name, a greeting or just a word that inspires you. You can use other text but only one word as a main embellishment. So dig out your dictionaries, die cutters, alphabet stamps, rubons or download a funky font and show us what you can do! The design team have come up with some fabulous creations to inpsire you.Load your card onto your blog, then leave us a comment and we'd love to come and look at your cards. If you dont have a blog you can still join in too, just email a pic to thedaringcardmakers@hotmail.co.ukPapers are the wonderful DCWV, Once Upon A Time. Image of the girl is one I purchased some time ago. She is below if you want to use her.

Toadstool & Dandelion Clock images scanned from my RSPB magazines. Frog Prince & tiny flying Fairy sourced from the internet (took ages!) Red flowers from an old silk flower arrangement at work, well it had seen better days & got binned! Metal Word, MM. Butterfly from a decoupage sheet. Clock behind the word I can't remember where I got the iage as I have had it many years. I adore timepiece images so much!

My only wish is that I could have found a unicorn in time for this design to stand behind her. I tried a fairy house but I have discovered when collaging, scale is very important & they all were to big or she was!

I hope to find the time to turn this into a canvas I have seen some delightful little ones about 4x6.

I am very happy with this card as it is a dream come true to finally collage images past efforts have looked cluttered & the scale was all wrong leaving me no choice to pull apart & salvage what bits I could & bin the rest!Fairy girl.
